Loader DYI 3rd function valve on L3301

[ProjectKing]

Hello, I'm strongly considering purchasing a grapple for my L3301. Of course I will need to install a 3rd function valve and switch.

Has anyone made their own 3rd function kit? I'm not crazy about how some of the commercial kits mount. It is beyond me why Kubota doesn't offer their own 3 function kit option for the tractors.

If you have made your own, use a Landpride kit or a WL Long kit I'd love to see it. Needing ideas about what I need to buy and fabricate.

Thank you

The L3301 is identicle to my old L3200... http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=295816

I'm assuming you mean 3rd function up on the loader where my 3 extra spools went on the rear. You also didn't specify diverter or 2 3rd function. I believe most of the kits you mentioned are diverters. Be VERY careful if you install a diverter on your curl circuit. Read up on Regen & know that your machine has a Regen only dump. Not an issue if you tap the lift circuit

Sorry for lack of details. I want to install an electric over hydraulic 3 position solenoid valve to control a grapple mounted on my front end loader. The valve is plumbed and attached near the front end loader control with an electric mounted switch on end of loader joystick. Valve is not a diverter valve but a true 3rd function valve.
